Welcome to this beautifully crafted custom ranch in the gated Carolina Trace community, where modern comfort meets peaceful, wooded surroundings. Built in 2023, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,711 square feet of thoughtfully designed one-level living with a bright open layout, upscale finishes, and the kind of indoor-outdoor flow buyers actually care about. Inside, you'll find a spacious family room with a coffered ceiling, gas log fireplace, built-ins, and large sliding doors that open to the screened porch and deck. The kitchen is designed to impress with granite countertops, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, wall oven, pantry, and stylish finishes that feel both elevated and functional. The private primary suite features a walk-in shower, dual vanity, and generous walk-in closet, while the laundry room adds convenience with built-in cabinetry and a sink. Outside, the fenced backyard and screened porch create the perfect setup for quiet mornings, entertaining, or simply enjoying the natural setting. Fiber cement siding, a tankless water heater, propane features, attached 2-car garage, and covered front porch round out the home's practical appeal. Located in Carolina Trace, homeowners enjoy the privacy of a gated community with access to a lifestyle centered around scenic surroundings and resort-style amenities. The community includes gated entry, common area maintenance, and proximity to Carolina Trace Country Club amenities, which include two Robert Trent Jones-designed golf courses, tennis courts, pool, fitness center, and dining if the buyer wishes to join.
